You can achieve this by increasing output, but it's easier to reach it by decreasing demand. Complete government control over what people will be allowed to use will accomplish that. Shouldn't be tough to meet the demands of electric cars, for example, if only the wealthiest 10% of city dwellers are allowed to own them. The peasants got by on candles once and they can do it again. Can't allow kerosene, of course, and whale oil is right out. Oh, and no fireplaces - sure, they're sustainable but the EPA emissions standards won't allow them. Utopia smells suspiciously like horse poop...
Yeah, that’s not happening. Taking away cars from 90% of people would cause a total rejection of our political class. 3rd and 4th parties would form, etc.
Dems are expert at boiling the frog. They will keep slowly ratcheting things up as demographics increasingly favor them. They’re winning and they know it. No need to radicalize and wake up the suburbs.
